international news live from moscow this is all she was me hello and welcome to the program egypt is bracing itself for a new round of turmoil with fresh nationwide protests planned for tuesday president morsi is parkour fraîche last week when he issued a decree placing his decisions about any kind of of the site including that of the courts so opponents accuse the leader of a blatant power grab and pledge to continue with the demonstrations until her versus his decision journalist who has more on the fallout from bosses. apart from saying that he isn't affecting the show authority which is very hard to prove if he has actually reined in the power of history and promising that he will use his newfound powers in a negative way mostly hasn't actually i'm offered anything to the opposition forces in terms of reassuring them that he's not acting in the way of a dictator and as you can probably see behind me there's still hundreds of people on here opposition forces that will refuse to leave to square until he backs down
3:02 am
in this contentious documents we're going to see. several thousand people in the streets everything for a million man march against this declaration we've seen him protests across the country and actually with the deaths of protesters including a member of the muslim brotherhood he's seeing clashes between pro and anti muslim brotherhood supporters in various different governorates and of course we've seen them of people within the journalists in the kits who wanted to call for a strike and i get to sit in addition to the judiciary who did actually call a partial strike so really we're still seeing massive to send to cross the country with no sign of this abating. gyptian oxidants calling mohamed morsi a new dictator saying has seized more power than the ousted hosni mubarak out of a hat and two political analyst eric draitser believes the current unrest the shadows the revolution has changed little in the country if anything it would simply be a continuation of the original revolution which the revolution if we're going to
3:03 am
call it that did not succeed in the sense that it was able to oust mubarak but it did not actually seize power instead it created a power vacuum and one that was filled by the political machine of the muslim brotherhood the muslim brotherhood who they were able to win the elections last year they don't actually have a broad base of the support as they would like to pretend there are many elements within egypt who are very much dissatisfied with the muslim brotherhood who would like to see changes within the political structure of the country this has to do both in. surely with the political situation but also with the diplomatic and the geopolitical situation when the people of egypt realize that it's been swindled into a five billion dollar strings attached loans from the i.m.f. and this is under the auspices of the muslim brotherhood well the muslim brotherhood will need some political control be able to meet in their control with these sweeping powers. morse's decision to assume near absolute powers came just
3:04 am
hours after he helped broker a cease fire between israel and hamas and gaza and online right now we've got more on how his crucial role in the trees gave him a green light with a drastic action. the remains of the late palestinian leader yasser arafat have been excused now an international team of forensic experts will take tissue samples hoping to clear doubts over the cause of his death in two thousand and four our middle east correspondent policy as mine. then you don't choose the body of the former palestinian leader yasser arafat was removed from it's more than where it's been for the better part of eight years since he died back in two thousand and four and since that time the question has never been on said to him exactly what exactly killed our friends must have a sting is believe that israel was behind his killing although israel has repeatedly and consistently denied this at the time of his did if there was radioactive material that was found on his clothing what we witnessing now is an investigation that is seeing a team of international investigators to take samples of these tissues they will
3:05 am
believe any basic asian in various countries around the world will be told that it will take several months for them hopefully once and for all it will be an answer to the question as to what exactly killed the former palestinian leader when we talk about the death of yasser arafat is a lot of behind the scenes political maneuvering and repeatedly experts and critics and media analysts have pointed out that the old dizzier network has been at the forefront of investigating what killed yasser arafat in fact they have spearheaded this whole investigation back in july they released a documentary that was entitled what killed our fight now of course al jazeera is backed by qatar and qatar has made no bones of the fact that it's disparate to see some kind of changes within the p.a. qatar would like to see the palestinian president mahmoud abbas pushed away from power and for more radical elements to come to power not only in gaza but also in the west bank and most notably here we're talking about hamas this would hope
3:06 am
because tarries meet their goals particularly in syria where for quite some time they have been pushing for regime change which was also witnessed a growing together in terms of relationship between the qatar and how much let me just remind you that some two hundred fifty million dollars were recently pledged by qatar to hamas to help palestinians in the gaza strip rebuild their homes in the infrastructure off to the operation. coslet now what we also know is that israel stands to lose from all of this of course israel has been alarmed by the close close relationship between hamas as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi they are they coming closer together and expressing more vocal and he is also to mend so there's a lot happening behind the scenes we're not just talking about the examination of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about a much longer deeper ramifications. and coming up later this hour the bailout battle maybe i'll go back downstream
3:07 am
a. little league believes it should be should be should be. compared to their normal citizens griese gets the much needed cash for its ailing economy but acts that say it's not on the rise past the decision makers are out of truce with reality. also the wrong way will posterity seems to be driving not only protests onto the streets but also a lot of less than honest people into the supermarket. slater but now france has allocated one point five million dollars in aid to the new syrian rebel coalition that's despite criticism before and raised block may not have enough support inside the country or even much control of the anti assad fighters on the ground france was also one of the few nations to give its full endorsers to the group professor paul sheldon fruits us paris is pursuing only one major goal in syria. rance major interest would be to continue with sorenson your remote server

throughout the world. but i don't think it really cured service just as they didn't here in the case of libya all they were close to were ours got up and they didn't really care who took over afterwards the. problem or thing the so-called syrian opposition leaders that they are not united the only thing unites them they would like to remove the current government they come from a very wide range of. religious viewpoints. viewpoint with their origins. their thing never wanted to succeed in spirit they were not be able to come together and they would be in no round of fighting to determine who will dominate all the other groups. meanwhile russia says french recognition of the syrian opposition bloc as well as its calls to supply the rebels with arms are illegal find out why moscow is critical but also how safe the aids rate shows the damascus by logging on to. another strong
3:09 am
bin excuse me another strong advocate of toppling the government in syria the u.s. is now hoping and helping to deal with the chaos that a mash after a forceful power changing leader washington will star system the creation of a new libyan army part of its major program of training tens of thousands of foreign soldiers from across the globe he's going that chicken now takes a look at what's in it for the killer. the pentagon's new outlook forget about full scale invasion is and large footprint occupation instead think special ops and off c.r.t.'s next destination libya the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for special units reportedly made up of some five hundred people who will train the country's forces according to one b.b. and militia commander a team of americans is already in the country looking for recruits a major obstacle in their weight
3:10 am
a vastly divided society there isn't an army and maybe and now and the army is not going to be because whenever you try and get militias which have been region says to a variety of reasons of things than the national interest so they have a legions to drive or to a sect or to a religion rather than having allegiance to the nation or to the country you cannot build an army. but with training and aid fully via the us we have more pragmatic goals then why do you do your view we're just teaching them the best way to fight this we're training it actually because it's really about not so much about you know teaching people how to use rifles and how to use new equipment it's all about really what indoctrination make any aid each one of the children the u.s. uses and as you very successfully put. the elite in the countries concerned stay loyal to the u.s. . law to new jobs of foreign policy to state law to them in terms of opening their

economies. to u.s. multinationals are we being who we were. and for the united states and yes it will start buying american arms sanction wiley's libya has lots and lots of money to spend according to the state department this year alone the u.s. spent six point three billion dollars financing foreign armies it argues investing in foreign militaries helps build better alliances and further american interests abroad from the point of view of the u.s. government of course it's very useful to have other countries' militaries integrated into the us they get the training then they get the equipment they get the arms it's the full package the idea of proxy armies is not new to this track record of training for an artist has hardly been flawless you have the school of americas for instance which is trained all the the armies that became the torturers of an america that started after world war two i would say the training troops as
3:12 am
especially in the middle east in the case of iraq are in afghanistan something of a catastrophe it's premised on a fantasy that if the u.s. buys the uniforms gives them the guns provides in the training that somehow these will be reliable forces you can see in the case of afghanistan the governments are united the governments are partners but the afghan troops don't consider the americans to be their friends in fact they consider them to be cultural who are occupying their country more than fifty coalition. were killed this year alone by members of the afghan security forces word is out that the obama administration wants to leave around ten thousand troops in afghanistan to continue to train afghan forces and carry out special operations after twenty fourteen when according to the obama administration american forces are supposed to have completely left the country the afghan government has less than two years to agree or reject the idea of the u.s. government maybe looking at training armies abroad is a smart investment sort of like outsourcing makes sense in business it's cheaper
3:13 am
than having u.s. troops on the ground no need to explain dead troops coming home makes sense from a lot of perspectives but that strategy has backfired more than once in the past eliminating populations that didn't want to see their military become a student of washington's wars in washington i'm gonna check out. more news after this break. waves of corruption are rocking in russia hundreds of millions of dollars vanished for apec building projects and russia's got a nice satellite project a real estate scandal has also led to the defense minister being fired note i said fired in russia we hear a lot about corruption scandals and the reaction is usually a firing or
3:14 am
a forced resignation and maybe that would be ok another country but russia has big dreams in a big country that has big corruption spoiling all of those strains a country can't survive with every infrastructural or scientific project is sucked dry from within whether the government is unwilling or unable to sternly punish these offenders is a huge topic by could tell you that if there's no real fear of punishment this will just keep going on for ever perhaps it's time to put a big asterisk for high level corruption next to the moratorium on the death penalty but that's just my opinion. on the issues. accreditation free storage free range ones three. free. free.

but i think it's a good idea is good so i said to do that they need to take care of their profits really having to steal food. not just shows people are struggling. some people have claimed these are targeting the choice of cuts of meat and selling it on to pubs and restaurants for profit and in iceland the land has been the only products safe to receive the it's just security loss that might be one explanation this is saying no doubt the poverty in the u.k. is a growing problem last year feed inflation in the u.k. was one of the highest in the e.u. and is the costs continue to skyrocket it seems that many people expect really do you call it desperate measures surface r.t. . and as the u.k. government keeps on getting to the tough times with a staring. kaiser reveals that the remedy is actually having a reverse effect and here's
